Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pink Floyd called "Dark Side Of The Moon" and is an ORIGINAL UK 1973 'Earliest' 1st Pressing on the ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'Solid Blue Triangle' Harvest label!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs OF ALL TIME - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - ON THE IMPOSSIBLY RARE 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE TRIANGLE' HARVEST LABEL - AND WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED LIKE THIS FOR AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME ONLY!!!! FOR SOME REASON (MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THE TEXT ON THE LABELS IS HARD TO READ) - THIS ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS LABEL WAS CHANGED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS LP WAS RELEASED (TO THE STANDARD 'TRANSPARENT' TRIANGLE SEEN ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS). AND AS A RESULT FINDING A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
I WILL NOW EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT MAKES THIS INCREDIBLE LP THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!! FIRSTLY THIS LP HAS THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS MATRIXES - ENDING IN A2/B2 (LATER ONES DONT!) AND THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT (AGAIN LATER PRESSINGS DONT!)!!!! SECONDLY THE VINYL IS MUCH MUCH THICKER THAN ALL LATER PRESSINGS - AND OF COURSE THE LABELS ARE THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS LABELS - WITH THE IMPOSSIBLY RARE 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE TRIANGLE' ON EACH ONE!!!! AND LASTLY (& JUST AS IMPORTANTLY AS THE LABELS!) THE COVER IS ALSO A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'STICKERED' COVER TOO - BEING DARK BLUE (SEE PICTURES) IN COLOUR!!!! AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INDEED - AND CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS COVER IS THE 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER THAT CAME WITH THIS RECORD!!!! ONLY A HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVERS WERE EVER PRESSED WITH A DARK BLUE COLOURED COVER - BEFORE BEING IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO A JET BLACK COVER!!!! AND IN FACT - THEY ARE EVEN RARER THAN THE ACTUAL 'SOLD TRIANGLE' RECORDS THEMSELVES - AS THE COLOUR ON THE COVER WAS CHANGED EVEN BEFORE THE 1ST PRESSING RUN ENDED!!!! INTERESTINGLY THIS COVER ACTUALLY HAS STRAIGHT EDGES TO BOTH ENDS OF THE GATEFOLD - BUT THIS COVER IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVER - AS THIS DARK BLUE COLOUR SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST ON ANY LATER PRESSING (EVERY COVER PRESSED AFTER THE RELEASE DATE WAS JET BLACK)!!!! THIS ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING IS ALSO 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 2 COLOUR POSTERS, AND 2 STICKERS - WHICH AGAIN ARE THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS ITEMS, WITH THE POSTERS BEING EXACT IN TEXTURE & THE STICKERS BEING MADE BY 'FASPRINT' (LATER ONES WERENT!)!!!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT ALL THESE IMPOSSIBLY RARE DETAILS LISTED ABOVE, MAKES THIS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1973 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE TRIANGLE' HARVEST LABELS, 1ST PRESS BLACK INNER SLEEVE, 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, 1ST PRESS A2/B2 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS POSTERS & STICKERS, AND 1ST PRESS 'DARK BLUE' GATEFOLD 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' STICKERED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Harvest UK 1st Pressing from 1973 and is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SHVL 804 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Solid Light Blue Triangle' Harvest label (see picture) and is a 1973 UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is almost as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO nasty loud pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some absolutely MEGA low level background sound on the run on grooves (barely ANY elsewhere AT ALL)!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must visually grade Excellent+ if not better with the playing grade only the VERY slightest touch less than this!!!! SUPERB RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Poly Lined' Black inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! THE 1ST PRESS 2 POSTERS AND 2 STICKERS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HAVENT EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!! The 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Dark Blue' Gatefold 'Stickered' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only some very VERY light rubbing (MILES better than most!), only the VERY slightest touch of ringwear, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO ringwear, NO yellowing, and NO grubbyness!!!! The 'Sticker' is in BRILLIANT condition with only the VERY tiniest touch of 'burring' to the edges!!!! The cover MUST grade Very Good++ if not better and is INCREDIBLY hard to find like this!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
